I hear and see a lot of crap coming out of Republican mouths, these days. Democrats are geherally less self-assured. They tend to clam up in a scrunched-up, constipated look of self-deprecation. Now that the Repubs got their mandate in the election of 2004, they're feeling confident and therefore, a little mouthier than normal.

The only thing that they don't ever say is "I'm sorry. I was wrong about that. That was totally my fault." Instead, they twist and turn and evade and throw up smokescreens, to avoid actually addressing anything real or responsible.

3. I'm not aware that what you are saying, is technically correct. Are you sure about your data?

2. I'm not really concerned with finding Osama Bin Laden anymore. I don't give it a lot of thought. - G.W. Bush

1. At least HE wasn't getting a blowjob from an intern in the White House.
